October 2022 I To guide our ambitions for CO2 reduction, XD Connects conducted product life cycle assessments (LCA) to calculate the CO2 footprint of our products. The Winter Catalogue 2022 debuted the first products with accompanying total footprints! We quickly had customers asking for more details on more products. Thankfully, we had more in store for them. Mid-October 2022 we launched our LCA project. All products on our webshop now feature their total CO2 footprint. Customers with a log-in to our webshop also have access to the CO2 footprint per phase of the product life cycle.
